Despite the development of scientific and technological progress and the emergence of not only new production technologies, but also new materials, wood still remains a popular raw material for furniture production. This is not only a kind of "greetings" from the depths of centuries, but also a stylish, good-quality addition to the interior of an apartment house. After all the furniture from a natural tree of valuable breeds always was considered as a symbol of prestige and a high social status of the owner of a dwelling.

Advantages of wooden furniture
Let's analyze the advantages of furniture made from natural wood and try to answer the question: what is it:
- Eco-friendly - you can, of course, start our list of "advantages"furniture with durability, durability and beauty, but still environmental friendliness, in our opinion, is a more important quality. Wooden furniture is made of natural and environmentally friendly materials, it does not emit harmful substances that poison the air and are not too useful for people. On the contrary, furniture made of solid wood gives off only essential oils and natural resins, as well as phytoncides, which possess bactericidal properties, and all these substances, in turn, have a beneficial effect on the well-being of the person in the room. In addition, the tree refers to those materials that are able to "breathe".
- Durable and durable - high-quality and good-quality wooden furniture can survive us with you, besides, in case of breakage, such furniture can easily be repaired. Although the cabinets, pedestals and tables made to the conscience with all responsibility will not require repair for a long time.
- Comfortable - good solid wood furniture, as a rule, has an ergonomic design that takes into account the features of the body structure. That furniture, which directly touches the body of a person( chair, armchair, sofa, bed), make the most convenient. But the manufacturers do not forget about all sorts of lockers and "walls".Here, a comfortable and ergonomic design is aimed, first of all, at making it convenient for a person to open and close lockers so that he does not beat them with his head and other parts of his body.
- Beautiful - in our rating we put this item the latest, although it is from the visual perception of furniture that its choice begins. The rich and exquisite facade, non-trivial decoration and unusual accessories immediately attract the eye, will you agree? Wooden furniture can not only easily fit into this or that room, but also effortlessly pick up other interior items that will perfectly match with it.

We'll talk about the role of wooden furniture in the interior of a dwelling a bit later, and now let's look at its types.
Types of furniture from natural wood
Such furniture can be made for any room, whether it is an entrance hall, a nursery or a kitchen. It is clear that each of the types of furniture takes into account its functional purpose: for the kitchen it will be one design, for the hallway - another, and for the bedroom - the third. In addition, the features of the operation of individual pieces of furniture dictate their requirements for the type of wood from which it is made. For example, bathroom cabinets should be made of moisture-resistant wood.
The most popular tree species used in furniture production are:
- walnut, oak, birch, beech, pine, larch, linden, cherry, cedar, maple, poplar, ash.
For the production of expensive furniture valuable woods are used:
- wenge, mahogany, makore, jatoba, meranti.
Each separate type of wood has special qualities, for which it takes on special value. For example, everyone knows that oak is hard material;Cherry - not hard, but beautiful material used in decoration;maple - heavy and strong;and cedar is resistant to moisture, so it is made of not only furniture for bathrooms, but also for baths and saunas.

But modern eco-style can boast of unusual reproduction of wooden furniture. Here you can find interesting furniture from tree trunks, for example, a chair with a backrest cut out of huge logs or stools that can have a square or oval shape.

It is clear that furniture from logs is better to put in a spacious room, because it not only takes up a lot of space, but also requires an appropriate supplement in the form of table tops from a thin log. In addition, such furniture should not be much, so as not to overload the interior, because each of its elements looks very massive.

As you can see, wooden furniture has a lot of pluses and various possibilities to fit it into any interior.
In conclusion, I would like to say more that furniture made of natural wood has some drawbacks. For example, made of soft rocks, it is easily scratched. In addition, in rooms with an aggressive environment of "habitat", such as a kitchen, wooden furniture can quickly fail. A polished surface looks beautiful, but requires careful care, sometimes with the use of special tools( sprays, solutions, which include wax).
